Stone’s a proper, traditional English town and it’s the template for what a town should be like. It’s bustling, courtesy of its variety of shops (independent and chain) and there’s plenty of car parking. Its architecture adds to the traditional town feeling that there’s no …

It’s time to be controversial but Clair The Cape Queen and the editor have a strong feeling this is the best shoot to date. Sometimes it’s hard to know why, but with such an elegant rain cape to the fore, combined with the excellent post-war …

You’ll find Longnor nestling in the Peak District and, if you’re lucky, you might spot the Cape Queen there too. Clair took to the highways of Staffordshire for some architectural exploration and took a cape with her, in this case her heavy 1970s one. And …

A friend of Pluvmantelo told us ‘the shinier the cape, the closer to God’ and it’s certainly a sentiment we’d agree with. And The Cape Queen took that shiny and God theme further as she explored Longnor’s church. The day was bright, the cape was …

Sunny, yes: but is that any reason not to be wearing a cape? Clair The Cape Queen needs no downpour-induced excuse to get caped and on a bright sunny day her longer Rukka cape really looked the part as she swished through the streets of …

What a contrast to that cape-right rainy day in Macclesfield, but while Congleton was bathed in sun that didn’t stop The Cape Queen getting, well, caped-up for some town-centre shopping. This time it was a short Rukka number that’s not been worn very much but …
